Longtime City of Burien Finance Director Kim Krause is leaving

Kim Krause, longtime City of Burien Finance Director, says she is leaving her post soon, but “I’m not retiring yet.”

Her last day at the city will be Friday, April 13.

City Manager Brian Wilson praised Krause, who has won many financial management awards with the city. He said on Wednesday he was working to determine who will fill in for Krause while the city searches for a financial manager replacement.

Krause said she is “moving out of state. It’s been a great ride but it’s simply time for a change.”
